LED compact wall packs project a bright, clean light and reach full brightness instantly. They use LED lamps, which last longer and use significantly less energy than wall packs with other lamp types, such as high-pressure sodium or compact fluorescent. They also produce very little heat and can withstand temperature changes and humidity. These wall-mounted outdoor lighting fixtures are commonly used to replace worn out traditional lamps in existing wall packs.

These compact wall packs cast widespread light onto building grounds and walkways. They use either high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide (MH), induction, or compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps. HPS and MH lamps produce a high-intensity light in either amber or natural light colors. Induction lighting is low maintenance and offers a long life. CFL lamps are ideal for areas where lights are left on for long periods of time, since they take more time than LEDs to reach full brightness.
